The Bulls Head in Kirklees

Thought we would try this place out not impressed with the overall experience of food the Sunday dinners beef not great nor the service waiter/staff took telling over 3 times for desserts had to wait over 30 mins for just brownies in the end just had to say cancel it too much time for something that take a couple of minutes to do the next day most of the family had upset stomachs wouldn’t recommend this place unless the service of communication to the cook and food standard is more on point than mediocre presentation we were compensated some money off the desserts but even the brownies are nothing different that shop bought similarities and tight portions to say the least the differences between kids to adults sizes not by much. To say the least and the only major positive was the decor of the overall place well set out looks inviting at least.

I love going to Ego as the staff are brilliant. When I went I was served by Harry, I ordered a margarita pizza for mains and cheese cake for dessert. Harry was helpful extremely helpful with me as I can never make my mind up with choosing a dessert

Went for lunch out first choice was unavailable so I ordered the lamb rump very disappointed with the meal would expect much better for £18.95. Then although we had joined the ego club which is supposed to give you 25% discount during the week we were told we couldn’t have the discount without a code even though the email we had clearly stated you just had to show the email to receive it.

We had a family meal here last week and loved it. The food was tasty and service was fantastic. The restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere- we will definitely be back!

This is my second visit to this very nice restaurant, on this occasion for our Wedding Anniversary. My Husband had a chicken and chorizo hanging kebab with fries which he thoroughly enjoyed, I had a pepperoni pizza, very nice. The service was very good. There is a full bar and they have numerous food and drink offers throughout the week. Would certainly recommend and will return in the near future.

We visited on a Sunday at 6.30pm and was surprised to be told that the Sunday menu had now finished The place was not full but we were placed on the upper level which was cold. We mentioned this to the waitress who said other customer had also commented on this. In retrospect which should have asked for a table in the main area but it still begs the question why we were placed up there or why the fire had not been lit.. Having said all that the food and the service was good and we will go again

We had a lovely dinner here on sat evening, atmosphere is lovely and service is friendly. Great wine list and fab steaks cooked to perfection. We will deffo be back

We came for my father in laws birthday. It was steak night and they had ran out of a few steaks. We had to ask to move seats as we were near the door and was drafty. The staff were friendly. Food was good. Service okay. We ordered pudding, some came then we had to ask for the rest as half an hour had gone by. The coffee we ordered had been left on the bar and by the time we got it, it was cold so had to get them to bring more. I've been to an ego before near by and was really good. This not as much but would give it another try

Very classy joint! This was my first visit to Ego at Horbury, we've been to their restaurant at Ackworth a few times and love it, so hoped this would be as good, and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is new, fresh, spacey and comfortable, very inviting and relaxing. Staff are similarly relaxed and efficient, no mistakes and no messing about. Just what you need for a thoroughly good night out. The menu is varied and I doubt anyone would have a problem finding something to suit, whatever their taste. We were a party of eight (including vegetarians) and nobody had any complaints. Prices are average. Highly recommended, we'll be back again soon.

Went here for the kabab night and wasn't disappointed! Got the mixed kebab and the meat was amazing and you get plenty! Will be returning soon!

I can highly recommend the Bulls Head. The restaurant is clean, tastefully decorated and has a really nice atmosphere, The food and service were both excellent and as our meals were chosen from the specials menu, it was also very reasonably priced also. I will definitely make a return visit in the future.

Met a colleague for here last week The place has been refurbished since I was last here and the place looks warm and welcoming We went for the Christmas special menu £20.25 for three course We started with prawn salad which is basically a deconstructed prawn cocktail It was delicious large tasty prawn with rocket peppers and Home made Marie sauce For main I had the cod loin which was really nice it came with roasted parsnips roasted carrots and roast potatoes with the skins on on a tomato sauce my colleague had the 6oz rump steak which came with fries and a pepper sauce For pudding I had a creme brûlée and my colleague had Christmas pudding A high quality pub meal with coffees to finish a couple of drink the bill came to just over £50 excellent value

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, newly refurbished by Ego, great choice in Mediterranean dishes, from Italian, Spanish & Greek, great atmosphere, Dan our waiter was very attentive, highly recommended!!!

Recently refurbished to a very high standard. Service was amazing-very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and the prices very reasonable. I have been twice now and have been impressed both times.

Recently refurbished to a high standard. Looks fabulous but service was absolutely dreadful!! Expensive for average food also. A lot af standing around staff who wanted to look like they were busy. Won't visit again.

Had a meal with a partner it was ok but nothing special just has starters. Was charged for large wines but got small.

El servicio era muy lento y pobre. No se cercioró de que la comida estaba bien. Las bebidas mal traídas, mucho después de que fueron ordenados. Paté de arranque estaba bien. Pasteles de pescado fueron quemados en el exterior, seco por dentro. Me pareció enfermizo que, después de la comida.

The refurb by Ego has been done really well, the decor is light & modern. The food was mostly good but not great & the service was very slow. The prices are quite high but the deals are worth it

Food not that good.....and prices far too high. Waiting staff untrained. Wont be returning. Such a disappointment.

Este pub es un lugar encantador para ir a almorzar o cenar, es cálido y acogedor con asientos cómodos y un ambiente agradable. Hay un montón de aparcamiento en la parte delantera y en la parte de atrás. Con una agradable zona de asientos al aire libre.

My first visit but two of us had been many times before. We started with a bottle of Prosecco with 4 mis matched champagne flutes !We then ordered the starters - Garlic Mushrooms were declared to be delicious, Deep Fried Brie Wedges were also superb but the Goats Cheese Tart had far too much pastry.Mains - Steak Pie and Chips and vegetables was fine, Double Boneless Pork Loin Steaks was good and so was the Scampi but the Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff was most unpleasant - tough meat and a sour sauce - it was too late to order anything else as we had waited 30 minutes after we had the starters for the mains to arrive - the place was not exactly busy.The staff were very helpful with two dietary problems.None of us had dessert but opted for coffee which was served with mints.I would describe the food as Pub Grub but at restaurant prices - not good value for money.I would not recommend this Pub.

Used to be a great place to eat but changed hands this year and unfortunately the standard has dropped. We have tried it 3 times since the change but it had not improvedWe were a party of 6 today, 3 had the fish and chips. It was dried up and the very small amount of fish inside was totally dried out. It was taken away and a 'fresh' one brought in no time. This one was even worse but the staff told us it was fine. The gentleman at the next table had the same and he also sent his back saying it was inedible

This particular Monday evening seemed very quiet with just a couple of other tables being occupied. They gave us a warm, friendly greeting and seated us promptly. We chose the value meal and it came reasonably quickly and was well presented. The butter sauce salmon was really good and well cooked and I thoroughly enjoyed it.Absolutely no problem at all. Well done The Bull's Head.

Lovely cosey lighting and interior with welcoming staff who were very polite. My grandma got pork fillet - perfect gravy with buttery mash and I opted for vegetable creole as I'm vegan which was spot on. Its so refreshing to find a nice vegan option for me on the menu. Price of food was very reasonable for the amount we got. Shall be visiting again, had a lovely evening.

It would seem on Sunday you have to book, so sorry I don't live locally and know this .......however they suddenly manged to find a table for us so we thought our luck was in .......couldn't have been more wrong ,we only wanted a Sunday roast ordered the turkey the better half ordered roast beef and my son order roast ham after a long wait our meals came my sons ham looked ok with the ham a Yorkshire pudding and potatoes and other veg came in a separate dish ....all Good you may think but on closer inspection the potatoes consisted of two small new potatoes and one single roast potatoe the beef arrived with only one roast potatoe to be seen anywhere the turkey was much like the ham with three yes three whole potatoes oh what a treat .......requested the missing new potatoes and out came the missing two ........so at last there we were with our meager offerings plonked down in front of us ...... remember we had waited sometime for our meals ....our problem now was how to eat them ....yes you guessed it no cutlery so had to ask for that ......all in all probably the best part was the Yorkshire pudding, rest was bland won't be going again

Had an excellent meal. Garlic mushrooms with beautiful chunky wholemeal toast! Lots of mushrooms in a creamy sauce. Came presented well and was piping hot.Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding to follow. Vegetables were served separately in a serving dish, plates were hot so kept food hot. Beef tender and everything was delicious. A wonderful Sunday lunch in a lovely setting. Value for money, will definitely come back for another visit thank you.

Looking outside the place, all looks nice which sets expectations high! However, couldn't be more wrong. Very poor service all round, food was very poor, staff looked sick of their lives and didn't look after customers. We waited 45 mins for our starters to arrive which were terrible, even longer for mains which were even worse and deserts.. Well by that time I'd gone grey. They did however take one of the meals off for lack of service. So on that basis, I'll give it 2 stars. Wouldn't be returning here

Had a lovely meal in Jan 16, however todays meal was aweful.The beef was like cardboard and the scampi was no better. Can't believe ths is the same place! Such a lovely atmosphere but I'm there for the food and I have to say that is the worst Sunday meal ever.

We have Been going to the Bulls head for quit a while now and found the food to be quite good, we went last night and I ordered my meal of salmon chips and veg, the salmon was a very small portion and they have changed the chips from home made to frozen, the veg was very soggy so think we will give this place a miss from now on

We used the private dining room for my mothers 80th birthday. The staff were helpful & attentive. Service was good. The food was excellent. Only downside was we were not given the menu's in advance but the staff didn't waiver & we got everything we ordered with minimal disruption. Well done! Would definartely recommend this establishment & the food.

Went for a birthday celebration. The service was slow, but that did not matter as there was a great atmosphere to sit and chat and the staff were friendly. Good choice, with a set menu and a la carte. Had a roast with Yorkshire puddings and plenty of veg. Pudding was a delight too. Looking forward to another visit.

used to go to the bulls head a lot a few years ago ,then went one time and the meal was not good ,any way I thought we would try it again .sorry no improvement I had the steak pie it was so bland ..two veg carrots and broccoli the latter not too bad but the carrots were not nice tasting,my wife had gammon ,,oh so salty ,all in all the meals lacked taste ..sorry chaps my last visit until you improve

Think my fist glimpse of the not too well presented menu was going to be an insight into the meal that followed. I ordered the trio of fish which although came to the table piping hot, was bland even with the sauce. My son ordered the steamed fish with mash and veg and really sorry to say it looked like something that would be served to a convalescent in a hospital.

Been here a few times and the foods been nice. The steak pie and gravy was superb. Good parking and conveniently placed. Will be visiting again. Many thanks.

Outstanding , great value for money, super food can not fault it. stake pie was the best iv add in a long time well worth a visit , will be back

There was no welcome we had to wait 35 minutes to order after asking. We had been put in a corner 6 adults and a high chair. After the main course again, after 40 minutes we had to ask for the sweet menu from a waitress with a face like thunder we felt as though we where an inconvenience. Its a shame because we have been going for a long time and spent a lot of money on meals there it appears to have gone down hill. Its been like this for the last few times we have been. We shall not be going again.

Went here last week and had an evening meal.Sat in the snug which has a lovely fire. Sevice was great and the food was lovely although felt it was expensive for the quality.

Outstanding staff, great value for money, super food can not fault it. We have been several times and its always the same excellent standard each time. Top of our eating places.

Living locally, we have visited The Bulls Head many times and have had some lovely meals. However, visiting for Sunday dinner today left us feeling that things have certainly gone downhill. The pub was quiet when we arrived. We were seated straight away. We ordered within 5 minutes after arriving and less than 5 minutes later our food had arrived (a bit worrying when my husband had ordered the Lamb Devonshire at £16!) We both felt that the food had simply been cooked in the microwave. The Sunday dinner was ok but nothing special. In fact, I cook a much nicer roast at home! The only vegetables served were broccoli and carrots which we had to ask for more of as we were given a small bowl to do 5 of us! One roast potato and one new potato each! The kids got as much as the adults. Oh and the stuffing was terrible. It had a doughy consistency and certainly hadn't been cooked in an oven. Such a shame as with a few tweaks this pub could go back to being the busy eatery that it once was. Improve the Sunday dinners and add something a bit different, ie cauliflower and broccoli cheese, spiced red cabbage, creamy mashed potato with the Sunday dinners. People want better than they can cook at home, not reheated, overpriced microwave rubbish!

This was our first visit. We booked a table for Saturday night. Got seated straight away, lovely service and didn't wait long. The food was very good, hot plates and presented nice. We will be going again. And the price was not too bad too.

Tea out with my Mum and it was great. Lovely atmosphere... so homely and great friendly service. Tasty food too! Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be going back.

Have been visiting The Bulls Head for around 15 years. The food is always excellent with an extensive menu and extremely good value and of a very high quality. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The premises have a lovely ambience and is beautifully decorated especially at Christmas.

I had the steak pie,now i think a pie is something you can pick up, this was pieces of meat in gravy,with a square piece of pastry plonked on top,not bad meat though and edible pastry, then you have to sit with this in front of you, while the rest of your party gets their meals, then your potatoes and veg comes in small tureens,OK if there is only a couple of you,the meal I had was ok, the service was ok, and I wouldnt want to put anyone off from going because some of the meals our party had, looked really nice,but when is a pie a pie?

I went to the Bulls head with my father for a meal, we were seated and served straight away this was great as it was a busy Saturday night. The food came out on hot plates and all appeared well, the chips were home cooked and the vegetables fresh with a bit of bite. Sadly my chicken was raw, the waitress was extremely apologetic and offered my something else I didn't take up this offer as I felt a little queasy. Money was knocked off our bill and lots of apologies made but a piece of chicken is not difficult to get right especially to a trained chef. Doubt I'll be back which is sad because it's a nice place but it's definitely put me off.

The food as always was lovely. My partner had the steak pie with as he always does when we visit here, I had the Chicken Signature dish. I don't recall what my daughter had but all of the children's choices were something and chips which she didn't like, its about time that food establishments stopped assuming that all children will eat is chips mine much prefers mash and veg (I will request this next time as they are very accommodating like this).I found the service very slow which is great when you are out for a long relaxing lunch but when you have young children with you they do tend to get restless whilst waiting around.After asking for the dessert menu we were given the inclusive Sunday Lunch one, none of us had ordered of this menu, not a major problem as I got up and got one of the dessert boards but the desserts off the inclusive menu do tend to be smaller than the others and there is less choice

My partner and I called for lunch at 1.48pm and approached the lady at the table reception. We asked for a table for two only to be told " you'd better be quick with your choice because we close at 2pm". At this abrupt reception we left and went to the Kaye Arms who welcomed us with open arms. I have reviewed this separately

We visited this pub on a cold Saturday night with family. Very warm and welcoming, lovely fires lit around the pub. Staff very warm and friendly. Starters of prawn cocktail and chicken and bacon salad and nachos, all very good and generous portions. I had the pork medallions and they were very tasty, with a nice gravy and a pile of fluffy white mash, my partner had the steak pie, which he declared was the best he had eaten, so often steak pie is a big disappointment , upon taking the lid off hardly any meat .Not here, plenty of tender tasty meat and a nice crisp crust. I will be ordering this on a return visit., the meals all came with a plentiful supply of veg. To finish the meal we all had the cherry and almond tart, this very light and had plenty of flavour, it came with its own little pan of custard, a nice touch. All in all a very pleasant evening with great food and a warm atmosphere. Can't wait to return!

The starter Yorkshire pudding very good, but the main course of steak pie not fit for a dog, over baked crust obviously kept warm under a grill for 3 days the chips 5 only supplied were not sufficient quality or quantity, veg cooked ok but will never return to this establishment again, so if you want a better steak pie try fray bentos it's cheaper and the crust doesn't nearly break your teeth.

Have visited the Bulls Head many times. The last two visits, November and early December we noticed that quite a few changes had been made to the menus. Not as many starters no salmon dish and the wonderful pate had been taken off so we were very restricted. As far as mains were concerned the last " signature chicken dish " consisted of a chicken breast in lots of cream, all other stated ingrediants were missing and it had little taste. The chunky chips, for our taste, are always greasy tasting as if the oil was not hot enough. Some other mains could do with more herbs added to give more taste as the quality of the food is excellent as are the portions. Sweet choice is also first class with good portions once again.Wine list is good for the Reds but the whites have little body. As far as other drinks are concerned, we do not like the choice of cider and lagers. Why, why do you not offer Strongbow or Magners cider and ice cold Fosters instead of San Miguel?

We visited on Boxing Day for our dinner. After an initial rush of being shown to our table (which was handled brilliantly by the Staff), we were seated very quickly. The service was excellent without any waiting about. The food was all served as ordered and was piping hot. The food was well presented and all the tables were decorated with crackers and Christmas Decorations. There was ample food and you were left feeling full and satisfied. The whole experience was wonderful, well done to all the Staff at the Bulls Head for an excellent meal and excellent service.

Over the years we have visited this restaurant for a quite meal and also when we have had something to celebrate. We have never been disappointed with the food, and the staff very accommodating

Really smart pub with lovely furniture and very clean throughout. Good selection of dishes on the menu too. Will definitely be going back.

Traditional roast on a Sunday with home made Yorkshire puddings always the food is excellent quality and good value nice and hot and freshly cooked

Stopped after a few hours at the National Mining Museum. We wanted a Sunday roast and whilst they were busy they found us a table. I opted for the beef, hubby went for pork. Meat okay and plentiful. Veg were amazing - new and roast tatties, broccoli, carrots and bashed neeps. Puds - sticky toffee for me and jam role poly for him were also good. Staff were friendly and efficient. Will definitely return if in the area.

We visited this restaurant with my brother and his wife who come regularly, it was the first time we had been there. We had fish and chips and they were delicious, the fish especially tasted very good. The staff are very attentive and helpful

If you are looking for a straightforward menu of very good pub food then this is for you. The food is well presented with the nicely cooked vegetables on the side and good sized portions of main. It is a large fairly modern pub/restaurant with many areas to eat done in a solid oak 'oldie world' type style. The staff are very pleasant and kept busy. I believe it is advisable to book at busy periods. Not 5 stars because the number of puddings is relatively small. It is also a little bit pricey for some of the items on the menu (e.g. lamb shank) but strangely good value for others (gammon steak). All in all, if you are looking for a straightforward meal in pleasant surroundings then I would recommend this place. The restaurant should think more about offering / identifying gluten free alternatives on the menu

Went out with some friends last night, but could'nt decide where to go we narrowed it down to two restaurants, one being the Bulls head. What a good choice it turned out to be I have never been before but I will definitely go again the food is excellent and there's plenty of it, we went for the early bird, I think its up to 7 o'clock and its a real bargain, its a different menu but they don't scrimp on the portion sizes as some restaurants do. there's a good selection of vegetables comes with the main coarse but if you include chips in this they are the chunkiest chips I have ever seen and there yummy. couldn't manage a pudding but if I could I think it would have been .just as good

The food is excellent and really good value for money. The Sunday Lunch is delicious and would recommend to anyone who enjoys home cooked food. The vegetables are all fresh and the gravy is the tastiest I have ever had in a restaurant .The staff are very helpful and friendly and just writing about it is making me hungry.

Absolutely gorgeous home cooked food, the best Sunday roast in the Wakefield area definitely!Friendly, warm atmosphere and good value for money.

Particularly enjoy the Thai green curry and Kettle of Fish at this popular eatery. Nice atmosphere beer usually spot on.

Good quality home cooked food, fair prices drinks. Friendly staff. Overall a very good experience. Will definitely be going back at some point.

The special boards r great. Good home cooking. Rocky road to die for. Lovely helpful staff. Well worth the visit

sunday lunch good main meals are huge and tasty can be very busy on sunday and holidays the owner is very accomodating and helpful if you want a different seat or outlook on to garden

We visited The Bull after a family funeral and Sue and her staff bent over backwards . We had private dining in the library and all 13 meals were delicious and served promptly and effortlessly . High recommended and do book as very popular .Thank you Sue and all at The Bull . Angela Lonsdale

I've been a couple of times for lunch with my wife but this was our first visit for an evening meal with our family. We were greeted in a friendly manner and shown to our favoured table and given plenty of time to study the very well stocked menu. Between us we chose four different starters, four different main courses and three different puddings. Every single dish delivered good size portions, good presentation and bags and bags of flavour!All in all the food and experience were excellent and the only negative was the coffee afterwards. None of us could put our finger on it but it just wasn't right!!

Having just returned from our holiday to Scotland I telephoned to ask if we could have a table for 2, short notice but although some parties were booked in we were lucky and it made a perfect end to a wonderful holiday.We both had the Gammon, eggs, chips, peas and mushrooms, it was cooked to perfection, very tasty and of course served as always with a smile. The staff as always were welcoming and friendly, it really is good to know that we can always guarantee a wonderful meal. A big Thank You to you all

I have been here several times with my husband and various family members. The food has always been of a very high standard and the surroundings are very relaxed. We have also been a couple of times for the Valentine's night banquet. All in all a good pub for an easy and relaxed meal

What a great Yorkshire eating house! Well presented location, well trained and helpful staff but above all really great food, at a Yorkshire price.OK its does not push the boundaries of the culinary art but what it does do is give you good quality, well presented food with that magical ingredient “ flavour” .Its best to make a booking ( this in itself confirms the quality of the place ) if you are going prime time.Will we go back? That’s a big YES

This was our first visit and will not be our last. There were two menus, the light three course lunch or the main menu option. We chose the latter. We had the homemade pate which was first class followed by the "homemade steak pie" This consisted of a suberb portion of really good quality steak, well cooked and absolutely no fat at all. There was a piece of shortcrust pastry on top and a separate dish of well presented vegatables. This was one of the best meals we have had in a long time and is a true classic in its preparation and quality. The staff were welcoming and the pub was well appointed with a warm atmosphere. This could become a favourite as there were so many dishes on the main menu that appealed to us.

We took our Grandson Josh to the Bulls Head as a late celebration of his 18th birthday. The extensive menu featured mainly English but some foreign dishes.We all had a starter and a main course. I resisted the temptation of a rack of ribs asa starter like Josh as my appetite is no longer as good as his. I settled on thesoup.My steak was spot on with no waste at all. Josh had a very large chunk of lamb (not a shank but from higher up the leg), my wife had salmon. We were all too pogged after the main course to want a sweet. It was excellent food at a reasonable price. We had been there previously for my 70th birthday and also enjoyed the food on that occassion.
